Actress Alyssa Milano launched the campaign on Sunday, calling on users to speak up if they’ve ever experienced sexual harassment or assault. > [](https://twitter.com/Alyssa%5FMilano/status/919659438700670976) “If all the women who have ever been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too.’ as a status, then we give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem,” she wrote in an attached screenshot of the tweet. So far, her tweet has garnered over 27,000 replies, including several high-profile celebrities like Anna Paquin of _X-Men,_ Debra Messing of _Will & Grace_, and Anika Noni Rose of _Dreamgirls._ > [](https://twitter.com/AnnaPaquin/status/919661075150159872) > [](https://twitter.com/DebraMessing/status/919668578357452800) > [](https://twitter.com/AnikaNoniRose/status/919668678093926401) Several men have also voiced their support of the campaign, including Jamil Smith and Javier Munoz. > [](https://twitter.com/JamilSmith/status/919772678109704192) > [](https://twitter.com/JMunozActor/status/919668916598837249) Milano starred in _Charmed_ with [Rose McGowan](http://time.com/4980878/rose-mcgowan-harvey-weinstein-rape-allegation/ "undefined"), who came forward last week accusing Weinstein of rape.
